Total Women's Ministry meets:
When: 1st Saturday of the month Time: 9:00am Location: St. Paul MBC |
This ministry has much the same purpose and function as the
Men’s Ministry except that it is for women.
It is a ministry designed to empower women to become God’s women,
belonging to God and behaving in a manner consistent with the moral nature of
God.
This ministry is designed to nurture women through discipleship. The purpose of this nurture is to develop a spiritually, socially, mentally, and emotionally whole woman who can be an authentic witness in her concentric circle of influence.
This ministry will include women of the church, whether single or married. It will also relate to other ministries in the church. It will be concerned with evangelizing women, engaging in mission projects, and developing girls into women. These women will not merely function within the women’s ministry but throughout the church fellowship. However, God’s order and design will be followed in that women will not serve in the pulpit preaching, elder or deacon functions. (1 Timothy 2:8-13; 16). The women should share in the ministries of the church like Mary, Martha, Elizabeth, Dorcas, Phoebe, Pricilla, Lois, and Eunice. We must note that Paul’s admonishment for women to keep silent in the church had reference to speaking in tongues and not in ministry activities.

Monthly Encouragement
As we all know by now all ministries have been postponed until further notice. Please continue to study your "Women of the Bible" workbooks. This month's lesson would have been on Rachel. The story of Rachel is one of deceit and manipulation. Ask yourself when you have been in a situation that caused you to lie or cheat to protect yourself or someone else. What could / should you had done differently.
Stay well and be safe.
